One of the things I appreciate about David Lynch is that he introduced us to so many other talents over the years. Laura Dern, Kyle McLachlan, Julee Cruise, Chris Isaak...
He sought other great people and gave them a spotlight. The best kind of legacy, I think.

If you wonder to yourself how we ended up in a post-fact, right-wing dystopia, the answer is "gamergate." They wrote the playbook for the bad-faith "culture war" behavior now we see everywhere online.

I am once again reminding folks that Daniel Vávra, the studio head behind Kingdom Come: Deliverance is an unapologetic "gamergater."

I've vaguely meandered into using the "Just life" CW to cover the depressing crap I deal with every day.
So if you see it and you're not in the mood to read complaining, just scroll by.

Just heard about Wargaming's next title, and YEESH it looks like a Katamari roll-up of everything that's wrong with games right now.

I thought my watchlist on D+ had been wiped because -- for some reason that only makes sense in the addled "brains" of executives -- they added a separate tab for "live and upcoming" and always default to it, even when empty.

"More people than ever are now vocally and angrily drawing the line between the corporate decisions to endlessly develop certain types of games with the layoffs that happen when those games fail; and as more and more of them do fail, spoiling the big bets that executives made years ago, we'll arrive at a fork in the road."

A pod-style coffee maker would be ideal for us, but I can't in good conscience contribute to the mountains of unrecycable plastic waste they generate.
I need something like the drip coffeemakers we had in the 90s, but able to brew one cup at a time rather than a full pot all at once. Fill it with grounds, add a paper filter, and dispense until it needs to be cleaned and refilled.
I've worked in offices with something similar, but those machines cost thousands.
